Abstract

Techniques of introducing virtual objects into a physical environment of AR system include displacing vertices of a mesh representing the physical environment based on a live depth map. For example, an AR system generates a mesh template, i.e., an initial mesh with vertices that represents a physical environment and a depth map that indicates a geometry of real objects within the physical environment. The AR system is configured to represent the real objects in the physical environment by displacing the vertices of the mesh based on depth values of the depth map and parameter values of a pinhole camera model. The depth values may be taken from the perspective of an illumination source in the physical environment.
